Anyone ever have BMW replace clutch through warranty

e36 clutch replaced under warranty at around 20,000 miles. The car would shudder something fierce when slipping the clutch in stop and go traffic.

I had my e46 330i zhp clutch replaced. The day I bought the car CPO (at 24k miles) I noticed a slight knocking/rattling sound in neutral that went away when I pressed the clutch. It took me three dealer trips and two different dealers to get this (and the wear on the alcantara steering wheel) accepted and they found a bad throwout bearing and gave me a new clutch. It was still under original warranty of course, this would have been hard with just cpo.

Then I sold the car.
